Starting in
October 2006, Thomas and Tom wanted to create a new brand of music, entangling
multiple styles into one. In December 2006 they entered the studio to record a
3-track promo, with the help of Kevin (vocalist of Toxocara/Erebus) on vocals
and JB (bass player of Seizure) on bass guitar and as engineer/producer. After
the recording-sessions they started looking for a line-up to bring their music
to the stage. That line up was found when Sven (bass guitar), and Mathieu
(guitars, bass player in Carnal Leftovers) joined the band. Shortly after this
a vocalist was found in Olivier (Ex- Obliterator, ex- Judgement Day) and the
lineup was completed.
After a
short time of rehearsing Thomas didn't feel quite right about the band and
decided to leave. Fortunately a new drummer was found very quickly and Clemens
( Aggro, ex-Bodyrot)decided to join
Departure.
Now with a complete lineup the feeling was right and some months of intense
rehearsing and writing followed. All the members started to put their different
ideas into the songs and the music progressed into a mixture of styles that
sounds very fresh and still packs a great punch.
On Saturday the 11th of august Departure played live for an audience for the
first time. The guys form Context provided Departure with the
opportunity to play two songs during their gig. Crowd response was amazing and
a big "thank you" goes out to Context!
After that
first time on stage the band knew they were ready for more live performances
and some gigs followed in Amersfoort, Weert, Roden, Assen, Eindhoven and Zwolle.
During the
gig in Hedon – Zwolle the band had the whole show recorded for use as promo material.
Some of the tracks recorded there can be heard on our website
Due to some differences Sven left the band early 2008. A new bassplayer was found in Erik (seraphique) within a few days and the band was could continue rocking the stages.
At this
moment the band is writing new material and doing as many gigs as possible.
